JetBlue is revitalizing its popular Mint business class as the airline prepares for its European debut — here's what to expect from Mint 2.0

The update comes as JetBlueafter a delayed launch due to the coronavirus pandemic. Mint will be featured on the transatlantic routes from New York and Boston and while the final product has yet to be announced, this refresh gives some insight into what travelers can expect when JetBlue does eventually launch flights to the UK.

Each plate will include fresh seasonal ingredients with dishes including Charlie Bird's iconic farro salad. Though the menu is inspired by the iconic New York City restaurants, the offering will be "non-denominational" and include a variety of different tastes as JetBlue expands Mint beyond New York. The acclaimed chef pushed to have what he calls the "emergency kit," which is a combination of minerals, oils, spices, and seasonings, including in the meal service.

Reynolds chose and crafted two cocktails for the menu. One, named "mint condition," is almost like a mojito or Moscow mule with cucumber and ginger, and described by Reynolds as "bright and refreshing." The other is Reynolds' take on the classic old fashioned. The aviation-inspired headphones are noise-isolating instead of noise-canceling, which Master & Dynamic CEO Jonathan Levine says keeps all the quality of the audio compared to active noise-canceling headphones. They also allow passengers to still hear announcements during the flight.

"We wanted to reinvent that one size fits all concept for amenity kits and bring something that was completely different," Wanderfuel's CEO Cory Angelo said. Flight to the Caribbean will receive a special "renewal" kit with items like sunscreen, lip balm, and facial mist.And for when it's time to sleep, JetBlue turned to Tuft & Needle to create a Mint-specific pillow and blanket kit to match the cabin's lie-flat seats.
